Or, as my sister calls it, that thing old ladies used (notice the past tense) to put on top of the TV. So my new hobby is not just old, is double old! How awesome is that? Am I a hipster now?

Or maybe she just meant flat TVs have finally caught on in the grandmother market…

(Fun fact, this is also my first ever post. When I was on Reddit I didn’t even made comments ever. It became kind of a rule I was moderately proud of. Yes, I was a proud lurker, it was like my personality so now I am not a lurker so maybe this means I have no personality any more. Fair trade off I guess?)

    Your sister is clearly out of date with her fashions because granny squares have made a huge comeback, so ner!

    Also, beautiful square! Even tension, tidy puff stitches, and a lovely colour choice as well. Congrats, and welcome to the world of online interactions lol 😂

      Thank you, thank you. I felt like a debutante but instead of hanging from a hot heir’s arm it’s just me and my dog, who doesn’t count because it’s a girl. And also a dog.

    It’s a good square: puff stitches aren’t easy to get even.

    I am now an old lady, but I’ve been crocheting since I was a kid. I have never put crochet on a TV, and now with flat screens I don’t plan to!

    (I do however have lap blankets on most surfaces that don’t move.)

      You don’t strike me as an average old lady, however! Bet you could bring back fat-bottomed TVs if you wanted and cover it in granny squares and make it a new thing.

    wow thats so pretty!! and the colour is really nice, highlights the pattern you chose!!! you should be proud! My thumb rule is choosing lighter colours to highlight the stitches, and dark colours to highlight the geometry/silhouette. you did an awesome job!
